What if I don’t have my baby on the due date?:

Did you know only 5% of women give birth on their due date? I make sure that I don’t have anything planned out of town in the 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after your due date. Anything that I d0 schedule during that time will be told prior to scheduling that there might be a cancellation if my birth momma goes into labor. My own son was 12 days late and daughter 3 days late, so I totally understand this worry! Example of what "On-Call" looks like

What if we have all our images private?

OK! Your Birth Story and privacy mean more to me then images on my website or shared online. Half of my clients you will never know I photographed their birth. Once I have your images ready I will ask you which ones are ok to be shared. You decided.

What it I have an Induction or scheduled cesarean section? Is there a discount?:

If you are planning a c-section, it is the your responsibility to make arrangements with your OB to have the birth photographed. I am willing to photograph the actual birth, just you and your partner during the birth, or prior to and immediately after the birth if the I am not allowed in the operating room. For a planned c-section, I will arrive at the hospital when you do and photograph the admittance process, the birth if allowed, and stay 1-3 hours after the birth to photograph your sweet little one(s). If you are planning an induction, then I will arrive when you are in active labor. Please check with the me, if possible, when scheduling times and dates for your birth. There are no discounts for inductions or cesarean sections. As much as we try to schedule birth, birth is very unpredictable. You truly never know how everything will go. Also, Birth, is Birth, is Birth. I don't feel like any birth is less of a birth story then another. We are all welcoming our child earthside in one way or another.

What if you can’t make my birth?:

I work with backup photographers and cinematographer in DFW as backups for each of my births should for any reason I can’t make it. They will come and photography or film and then I will edit them so that you have to same editing style you hired with KE Documentary. Even if they are at your birth, I will come and take over as soon as I am able. So far I have yet to need a back up. But I think it is very important to have a good back up system in place.

In the event that the you experience a loss before 32 weeks, I am willing to document the birth as planned or you may opt to receive 50% of the coverage fee back.

If you have a premature baby, I am happy to document the birth as planned if possible. If I am unable to make it to the birth, I will come as soon as possible to the hospital to photograph the your family together. In the event that your baby is born and requires immediate time in NICU, I am happy to return to the hospital at a later time to photograph you with your new baby. This assumes that the baby was so sick that it could not be done immediately after birth. If you anticipate your baby spending time in NICU, please let me know in advance.
